    Blue Iris Update Helper (BiUpdateHelper)

    OH, right, that's Mike. Sorry. That said, it'd be cool if it were implemented in one program, if you and Mike got together.

    According to Fenderman you are OCD and are doing it wrong because you installed an update without waiting a week. :)

    Blue Iris Update Helper (BiUpdateHelper)

    BP, thanks for this tool. It saved me from a recent Blue Iris update that caused my hard drive to fill up, lost footage of many random cars on my street, and long story short, it also prevented me from cutting off my left nipple with a box fan. Question: Will it ever be (or can it even be)...

    Hard drive stopped recycling itself?

    Yeah. Now you know. I think they need to have a beta channel and a stable release channel. I uploaded update64_4.5.9.2 for you which is the last stable release that I used before this problem update64_4.5.9.2.exe - AnonFile I deleted my whole database folder (C:\BlueIris\db) and...

    Hard drive stopped recycling itself?

    What you'll be told here is don't update on a critical system without waiting a while and checking the forums for problems for a week or two and to search the forum for a possible dropbox link to a previous version, and install BP2008's BI Update Helper software.

    I'm sure as it is now, with that automatic update box there waiting for unsuspecting people to check, he's living on the edge if people are actually emailing him with game-ending bugs on the regular. That is a slap in the face to the people who run this forum. I'm telling a moderator you said...

    Could there be a beta channel and stable release channel? Seems that would solve Fenderman's concerns about slowing down new features/releases and also prevent the average user from installing very minor releases that seem to frequently have these game-ending bugs.

    Hard drive stopped recycling itself?

    I think if these types of fatal bugs are let through so regularly, the developer should offer built-in ways to revert the version you're on. After all, automatic updates are an option and I'm sure for most unsuspecting users, that is checked.

    4.6.0 - August 29, 2017

    This version might still have some wrinkles left to iron out. Installed earlier, came back tonight to C drive completely full. Also tried the new "run maintenance" feature but it didn't appear to do anything.

    4.5.9 - July 20, 2017

    I noticed that as of today, if I turn off WiFi on my phone, the pictures come through on push notifications. App (iOS) v. 1.57.02 (updated app came out yesterday) Blue Iris v. 4.5.9.1

    Version 4.5.8.5

    I am noticing way-faster push notifications as of late. Not quite instantaneous but like 5-10 seconds faster than before which is a huge difference when it comes to seeing someone on my porch.

    another illegal dumper bites the dust

    Obligatory "I can't stand people who do this" but also wondering why he didn't just take 30 seconds to break those boxes down instead of having to use multiple straps?

    VPN --- run on the Blue Iris PC or on the router?

    Have you considered setting up stunnel on the Blue Iris PC? stunnel If all you're worried about is the video traffic being encrypted (Blue Iris login credentials are already encrypted according to the help file), this might be a simple solution.

    I am using SSL (via stunnel) and it doesn't work for me

    Version 4.5.8.5

    I still don't have images being sent with Push notifications either on 4.5.8.5. Wonder why it's working with some users and not others? I've been receiving images for a good while now via text: Camera Properties > Alerts > Send an SMS message > Configure > Attach a current image SMS image...

    What's the best cloud backup for Blue Iris Alert images?

    Thanks Abelmj. I definitely want something free and unlimited with regards to photos, and having something geared towards photos (functionality-wise) is a huge plus. I'm trying google photos again, and it seems it's keeping up with new alerts almost immediately. I opened the Google Photos app...

    bp, I got it once earlier on both machines I use it on but I can't get it to happen anymore. For me, it logs in without the error now

    4.5.8 - June 23, 2017

    I have auto update disabled, but I roll the dice sometimes. And being a BI user for quite a while now, I don't get worked up if I update and notice something's not working. I might still pop in here to see if others having same issue, see if it's been reported, etc.

    4.5.8 - June 23, 2017

    I've always had it send me an SMS with the attached image from our porch camera, but I wanted to test the new features in push notifications and noticed it wasn't working as of 4.5.8.2. Got me thinking it'd be cool if Ken could release betas. I'm sure there are enough people around here...

    What's the best cloud backup for Blue Iris Alert images?

    I like dropbox but it's not unlimited unless you pay quite a bit. The reason I want an unlimited service is so I can just grab the whole alerts folder and have a pretty awesome archive of images.

    What's the best cloud backup for Blue Iris Alert images?

    Anyone have luck w/ backing up alert images to an unlimited cloud service? Not trying to backup video to the cloud, just alert images. I've tried google photos - upload seemed really slow (I'm on gigabit fiber so it's not my connection). Tried Amazon Prime photos - upload of the entire alerts...

    Limiting Users to camera groups broken after update?

    4.5.3.2 works great for me. I don't update often anymore, just happened to get caught by this bad one this time.

    Limiting Users to camera groups broken after update?

    I installed it and while it fixed that I started having other connection problems (app not connecting, etc). Went back to a prev version. If I had more time right now I'd document and send to Ken

    Limiting Users to camera groups broken after update?

    From what I can see it's fixed in 4.5.3.4 now

    The problem I worry about.

    Awesome outcome here. The embarrassment of having to face the neighbors and apologize probably did a lot more than the law getting involved.

    Dome camera losing signal on warm days

    That's a really good idea but there is quite a bit of light in the garage during the day when the problem is present, both natural and overhead lighting. Edit: can confirm that IR doesn't really kick on until they close up shop

    Dome camera losing signal on warm days

    Truetrue, trying to see if someone had experience in a similar situation to save me time (I have to travel to this location, cam is up high, attic is nasty), but it may come down to that.

    Dome camera losing signal on warm days

    That may be my last resort but with it's off/on nature and the heat seemingly playing a factor, I was hoping to possibly eliminate some variables first.
